Hello -
I would like to know what is the standard or preferred way of setting
a variable at the configure command line. What I am hoping is there
is some way to do something like
% configure --set MYVAR="value of myvar"
An AC_SUBST(MYVAR) call then could be used to force the substitution
in @MYVAR@ in the Makefile.
I know there is no --set option, but you get the idea: the variable
MYVAR is used in configure & configure.in, and it would be useful to
set it at configure time. I am trying to avoid having to force the
installer to do a setenv prior to running the configure script.
Maybe this is easy and I have overlooked this in the autoconf docs,
but any constructive advice would be appreciated.
